About Me

I'm still not entirely sure about this one. The only thing I can say is that i'm really interested in getting to understand people beyond the banality and bullshit that we seem to usually operate on.Other than that vague statement I should tell you that (apparently) i'm interested in tedious drama, bad poetry or online tirades so expect many updates.

My Interests

watching water boil and grass grow. But on my off days I'll read, sleep, write, watch movies, drive around, fish (who knew?), bowl (only when provoked), gun repair.

The Morning After

Grindhouse: Short and Simple

Why i'm going to see Ghost Rider
